By mid-Sunday, March 18th the cold airmass pushes south into central and eastern Europe (as far sotuh as Croatia and Hungary) and far into western Europe, across the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula and further out west into the Atlantic.

By the beginning of next week, mid-Monday, March 19th the cool airmass will have overspread the entire continent, except for the extreme SE Europe. At the same time, the extreme cold will lessen somewhat with temperatures mostly 4 to 8 °C below average for this period, except for some parts of central and eastern Europe.

Starting on Tuesday a progressive pattern will begin pushing the cold airmass towards the east, pushing it into the central and eastern Mediterranean and north Africa. Stay tuned for further updates!
